If you're gonna use the AE 1/18th shocks you'll find this link helpful. The mod takes about 10 minutes a shock.

Funny you should mention 1/10th cars as i first came across this rear suspension on a TRC LynxII Pro10 car. I then built my own (back in the days when i had access to free carbon fibre) and ran it a few times on an empty track before starting on the 1/12th car and giving up racing.
I've managed to build my current car using as many off the shelf parts as possible apart from the carbon fibre. I drew this in Autocad and emailed it to Fibrelyte here in the UK who had the bits done within a few days. My mate turned all the aluminium spacers. The rest is standard. Carpet Ripper pod side plates, Gen-X front (albeit 2mm narrower) AE and Hot Bodies shocks, BMI pivot balls. I've tried to share it around a bit!

Good luck with the testing.
